Dallas–Inland American Communities Group Inc., a development, acquisition and management company, has officially rebranded to become University House Communities.

University House Communities will continue to operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Inland American Real Estate Investment Trust, a non-traded national REIT that manages a portfolio of commercial real estate assets in multi-tenant and student housing.

Based on IAC’s growth and desire to further expand its properties, resources and team, the leadership believed it was the best time to build a unique brand based on best practices for the student housing platform.

University House Communities’ strategy has not changed. The company will continue to expand its portfolio through tactical acquisitions and the development of new, best-in-class properties.

Currently, University House Communities has five new properties under construction in Atlanta, Austin, Birmingham, Charlotte and Tempe, and continues to identify new development and acquisition opportunities across the country.
